Guys, what is the lowest point you've been in mentally?

[Anonymous]

I'm asking this question because I know many men don't express their emotions. So how do you deal with emotional/mental problems?

[Lionman95]

I deal with my emotions either through prayer or by journaling because good moments are more likely to be forgotten than good ones. I´ve been to mentally breakdowns a couple of times because I´m born with a rare genetic dysfunction called klinefelter. My method to go is often motivating videos and talks because they manage to put on fire something or I do something I´m good at and get me focused on the positive side of life.

I've been at a point when I was seriously considering whether or not I wanted to continue living. Fortunately that is more than a decade behind me now.

There is a Chinese saying that helped me through it. "It is better to live ugly than to die beautiful." Once your dead, you never have another chance to be happy. I think it's an important thing to consider when having suicidal thoughts.

wouldn't say I had depression but at one point in life I never expected or cared if I lived past 25 as I thought I would have done any and everything I wanted by that point and saw no reason to continue past that

[Asker]

You didn't answer my question lmao

[boggboss]

I could go into details but I won't, because no one really cares, but I've been at my lowest for a long time, I deal with it because I am not at the age I gave myself to reach and die at.

I don't want pity, sympathy, worry or attention, you asked a question and I simply answered.

Lowest point got cheated on in my marriage, wanted to do things to myself got help and still in therapy

[Asker]

Why did u want to do things to yourself?

[AnaxGrypos]

I felt that I lost the person I loved , I was hurt and betrayed. I felt there wasn't a point in going on, it would be easier not to deal with the pain

[dolemite58]

i feel like i’ve been through it all at one point or another. I've been homeless, in jail, addicted to drugs, seen close friends get killed. You just eventually just stop caring about things if that can be considered a coping mechanism.

Been in situations when I feel like they are no win. Highly stressful, hurtful. Painful times. It’s very challenging to fight through and tears come

[BarryLiverstone]

How do you deal with emotional problems? I’m still learning
